Today I’m sharing a couple fun vintage paper crafts for Valentine’s Day. These are from a 1954 magazine called Crafts & Hobbies, How To Make Money At Home.

They should take you back in time before computer graphics and home printers to when we used paste, crepe paper and pretty paper doilies to make our homemade Valentine’s Day cards. If you don’t make these, they will give you some ideas for new ones.

Do these bring back memories? You can click on a picture and it will open in another window a little bigger so you can get a better look:

There are two magazine pages of instructions and templates to make these vintage Valentine’s Day cards and decorations.

Here’s the file:

The magazine pages are in PDF format so to download them you’ll need the Adobe Reader software on your computer. Most computers come with it, but it is free and can be found here.

Download Instructions: Right-Click the link and select either “save target as” or “save link as” depending on what browser you are using or simply click on it and save or print.

Enjoy!
